It's not strictly speaking Japanese, then again nether are Seiko's made in China  well it's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! Polish/Japanese (TMI/Seiko NH35A automatic, 24 jewels, hacking, hand winding, power reserve >40h) I put down a deposit when the concept watch was released well over a year ago and simply forgot about it. Yesterday i received an email that the watch was ready and on it's way  Just a teaser for those who like this sort of styl.   |

I like it; the whole watch is nicely balanced. The only thing I would change is the colour of the stitching; make it match the lume so it doesn't draw from the good looks of the head itself. That's an easy fix though  |

That's an easy fix though I was going to treat the strap with neatsfoot oil, this will help keep it water proof (sweat proof) and turn the stitching a cream colour and still match the lume. Rod Thanks for the feedback guys, it's hard to get a feel for a watch from concept renderings, i feel this one will fit right in with the rest of the brood  |

I like it a lot. Well played.
Why the second big knurled crown - rotating inner diver bezel ?

Ive always liked that compressor style. And, the dial is really nice looking... Looking forward to hearing your impression of it.
